I have 19 chicks. I only purchased 9 of them. The rest were given to me by a friend in exchange for a dog kennel to use as a brooder. Four of the 9 I got were supposedly pullets and are Americaunas, though they are different colors so I'm not sure. The other 5 were the "easter gift" type that she had dyed that were so covered in poo I just couldn't leave them behind. My little dyed yellow one is my favorite because he has fuzzy feet and I had to work pretty hard to keep him alive as his vent was completely crusted and he was super lethargic when I got him. The rest are crosses as my friend has several breeds that bred with whatever rooster sidled up to them, but I do know none of her hens lay white eggs, if that helps. If I get pictures is there any hope of sorting them out, even the ones that are mixed breed? And since I couldn't find anyone to sex them, is there any hope of finding out if there are any roosters in the bunch (I know chances are pretty darn high there are at least a few) before they start crowing and have the neighbors hating me? They range between about 6 days old and almost 3 weeks.

Thanks!
 
Great! Ill post as soon as I've wrangled all 19 for individual pictures!
 
Alrighty folks! In the interest of ease since there are so many I assigned each one a number and have two picture angles of each.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Whew! If you stuck with me this long, thank you! That was a lot of pictures and uploading! Hopefully I have detailed enough pictures. We were having a hard time as these little guys are really working on flying off and are hard to hold onto.
